Breaking down what could happen with the upcoming Fed meeting
| |
Hey Janet,
The Fed may seem like a secret body of cloaked money wizards deciding the fate of the economy, but sadly, it's not as magical as that. A single email can't cover all the Fed does, so here's the TL;DR—the Fed sets baseline interest rates.
The next meeting is tomorrow and the big question is this: What will the Fed do with rates?
Typically, the Fed raises or lowers rates to slow or kick-start the economy respectively. This matters because changing rates can affect your borrowing power and how you manage debt. For example, if the Fed raises rates, you could see your credit card's APR increase too.
In that case, a low fixed-rate SoFi Personal Loan could be a great option to consolidate debt. The fixed rate won't increase no matter what the Fed does in the future.
To stay current on all things Fed, you can follow SoFi's On the Money newsletter or check out Liz Thomas' notes. Once you're properly Fed-ucated, you can get started with a personal loan at the link below. |
